A Stroke Of Good Luck is a page-turning novel with dark twists and turns and an undercurrent of laugh-out-loud humor. Set in a small New England town, it is the story of Gloria Lombardi’s close knit and at times warring family and circle of friends as they support each other while taking risks to protect Gloria’s friend Apolonia, a young social worker, when Apolonia is stalked by the enraged husband of a woman she is trying to protect. It’s a story about missed opportunities for disaster. The title is taken from a quote by the Dalai Lama — Sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

Engaging,

This review is from: A Stroke of Good Luck (Paperback)
This is an engaging book! I loved Gloria, she kept me very interested in the lives of herself, family and work related issues.The Book certainly contained a very loving message into a supportive family life. I wanted the book to continue so I could experience what sort of situation Gloria would find herself in next. I am looking forward to a sequel!!

Wonderful and engaging story,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Stroke of Good Luck (Paperback)
Grace Rudolph has managed to take a slice out of an ordinary woman's life and make it come alive. Gloria (the main character in the book), Gloria's friends, her workmates, and her family become real to us through the gift of this writer. Gloria's everyday life with all it's high, lows, and in betweens make us laugh outloud, worry with her, and even fear for the safety of her friends. Life is all the things that Ms. Rudolph wrote about: happiness,sadness, love, loyalty, family turmoils, job indecision, worry, and humor, especially humor. Ms. Rudolph's style of writing is open, honest, and real. I read this book quickly because I was so interested in finding out what Gloria was doing. Once I started I did not put it down. I could easily identify with Gloria. She became an intimate friend. I was so sorry when I did finish the book (because I loved it so) and agree with the other reviewer who has asked for a sequel.

Get Ready to Curl Up With the Next Blockbuster Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Stroke of Good Luck (Paperback)
Everyone talks about writing the "Great American Novel." Grace Rudolph actually has. This story will transport you to a charming New England community with characters that jump off the page and into your heart. You are drawn into their lives to experience their tears, their joys, their friendships and the twists and turns in their lives that teach us much about our own.
